206704 Sylvia Italia Maria Kung Women's Land Army from:6 Western Gardens, Edinburgh Sylvia Kung (or Lavet) was my late husband's mother. I should be interested to find out more about her and what she did in the Land Army during the War. She was born in Rivoli, Italy in 1924. It's believed that she was working on a farm (possibly the Park Farm),in Earlston, Scottish Borders. It was here she met my late husband's father by whom she became pregnant in August 1944. My husband was born out of wedlock 19 May 1945 and sadly,he never had the privelege of meeting, or indeed, knowing anything about his father, other than he was possibly an Italian prisoner of war, and approximately 5-6 years older than his mother. I'm sorry I don't have any further information which may be of help, the only 'evidence' is a photo of his parents taken about 1944.
